At the recent comex, I bought the RS170 (full set including transmitter) and a pair of RS180 (cans only) for $688. Overall, the sound quality of RS170 is great and i can't really hear any hissing sound or interference. It passes through 2 walls alright but i experience dropouts through 3 walls. Its quite comfortable and light, watched 3 episodes of 24 without feeling fatigue. I have yet to do an A-B comparison with the RS180. Was told the RS170 more for movies and RS180 for music. Haven't really tried it. Will update once I have run-in the cans. 1 thing to note, I find the pairing, setup complicated, esp when one need to add additional pairs of cans. nevertheless, it beats having x2 3.5m wires running from AVR and TV whenever my wife and myself wants to watch movies without disturbing the kids from their sleep.

My opinion is just go for the appleTV solution, in case you have videos to stream next time. Till now, its still not available in Sg Apple Store

Great stuff, would like to refresh this thread. Apple has just announced a new AppleTV at USD99. Still can't see it on the Sg apple site but I'm definitely getting it as a 2nd link to stream multi-media. The new AppleTV is even more versatile than Airport Extreme as it not only streams music but videos, photos etc. Can't wait for its arrival to complement my exisiting AppleTV.
